This study considered the question whether retrospective time perception was affected by priming the experimental condition to be more aware of subjective time during the experience of the target duration. Awareness of subjective time was operationalized by the direction of attention toward a running stop-watch, while participants were shown images for various durations on which they were later te

In this survey, we consider the trivial perfect codes which are the binary repetition codes of odd length and all codes that only contain one code word. We also take into acount, the Hamming codes as well as the two perfect Golay codes. We then prove that there do not exist any perfect codes over finite fields others than the ones above, using Lloyd's theorem.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att bedöma mottagaranpassningen på de delar av Trafikverkets webbplats som beskriver byggprojekten för väg. Det innebar närmare att undersöka på vilket sätt sidorna för ett enskilt projekt hölls samman och hur informationen var fördelad mellan sidorna, eftersom det är en viktig del i att utforma en webbplats på ett begripligt sätt. Till min hjälp hade jag information från

Materials and component production steadily needs to become more effective since newer projects might have a finite amount of resources. The reasoning why powder metallurgy and particulate materials processing is chosen as a topic for this thesis is because of the potential to minimize the manufacturing waste. Instead of utilizing wasteful cutting and grinding processing steps to gain the final sh

Earlier studies show that different concrete aggregates have different thermal properties, and from this an idea to optimize thermal properties of concrete was developed. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate thermal properties of concrete so additional costs and negative environmental impacts can be minimized. Measurements of thermal properties of different Swedish aggregates from e

Moore Street is a market street in central Dublin which in recent years has transformed into one of the most multicultural streets in the city. The street traders that have been a presence on the street for generations are now working next to shop-keepers from a diverse range of countries. As such it is often held up as a positive example of multiculturalism. The purpose of this thesis is to exami

Numerous researches on the acquisition of a second language show that the learner acquire the syntactic structures of a language in a certain order, independent of the order they have been introduced to learner. Bartning and Schlyter (2004) have designed an itinerary with six stages of development that show the expected development of the acquisition of French L2 by Swedish adults in oral producti

On the basis of data from Swedish, this thesis investigates the Small Clause Hypothesis put forth by Kush et al. (2013). The hypothesis is suggested to account for the rare possibility of relative clause extraction, a phenomenon that poses a challenge for syntactic theories of locality. In brief, the hypothesis states that the possibility to extract from relative clauses is restricted to cases whe

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om den samhälleliga styrbarhetens möjlighet och problematiseras i enlighet med samhällets ökande förändringsbenägenhet och känslan av att samhället accelererar okontrollerbart. Den observationen har fått många forskare och kulturteoretiker att tala om samhället som en kontingenskultur där både erfarenhet och förväntan grumlas, där det inte finns en stabil och pålitlig gr

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som varit av betydelse vid återhämtningen hos tio brukare med diagnosen schizofreni. Delsyftet med studien har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som haft positiv respektive negativ betydelse för brukarnas återhämtningsprocess. En kvalitativ ansats användes för att uppnå resultatet. Resultatet pekar på fyra faktorer som viktiga för återhämtThe purpose of this paper has been to describe which factors that played a role in the recovery of ten patients with a schizophrenia diagnosis. A part of the purpose was to describe which factors that had a negative or positive bearing on the individuals’ recovery process. A qualitative approach was used to achieve the results. The results indicate four factors that were important for the recovery

Denna uppsats behandlar förhållandet mellan folkrätt och intern rätt inom området skatterätt. Uppsatsens syfte är att fastställa när ett skatteavtalsbrott har skett och om den enskilde skattebetalaren har möjlighet att hålla staten ansvarig och kräva skadestånd från staten om staten bryter mot ett skatteavtal. För att underlätta för läsare att förstå analysen görs en genomgång av monism och dualThe subject for this thesis is the relationship between international public law and national law in the area of taxation. The purpose of the thesis is to establish what is a tax treaty override and if it’s possible for an individual taxpayer to hold the state liable and claim damages against the state for breaching a tax treaty. In order to make it easier for the reader to understand the analys

Last three decades, China has experienced a stunning economic development, which has transformed the whole county on various levels. Until now, China has followed investment and export led growth and has become the world’s largest manufacturer. However, under the veil of rapid growth, social and economic imbalances have emerged causing a number of serious challenges facing China. Moreover, the Chi

Tjugosju deltagare, studenter med egenrapporterad stressproblematik, rekryterades genom utskick till institutioner vid olika universitet och randomiserades till att ingå i en experimentgrupp (n=13) eller en kontrollgrupp i form av en väntelista (n=14). Experimentgruppen fick genomgå ett internetbaserat stressbehandlingsprogram. Det utfördes en för- och eftermätning avseende upplevd stress, utmattTwenty seven participants, students with self-reported stress problems, were recruited through email to different university institutions and were randomly assigned to two different groups, experimental (n=13) or in the form of a waiting list control (n=14). The experimental group was subjected an Internet-based stress treatment program. A pre and post-measurement was conducted regarding perceived

Den här uppsatsen visar genom att studera paneldata över 62 nordiska aktier som investerar i FoU att det finns ett positivt samband mellan FoU och total volatilitet, idiosynkratisk volatilitet samt betavärden. Investeringar i FoU gör aktiers avkastning mer volatila. FoU och volatilitet är dessutom positivt korrelerade och tenderar att röra sig i samma riktning. Företag som investerar i FoU är mer

We aim to measure the effect of relationship building between target-firm and financial advisor in the Mergers and Acquisitions industry. We also aim to investigate what affects the target-firm’s decision to stay loyal or switch financial advisor. Our main findings show that relationship building does not have a significant effect on the advisor fee and speed of transaction. Instead of earlier c

After studying economic integration it doesn’t come as a shock that preferential trade agreements (PTA) have an effect on the countries within the PTA, or outside the PTA for that matter also. The majority of the Latin American countries have been considered as developing countries for the better part of the 21st century, and have, for the most part, been secluded from the world market. Since the
